About product

The German MG 34 and MG 42 machine guns in one set

This item brings together the two best-known German automatic infantry weapons in a single package. The resin castings capture the shape of the weapons, and the photo-etched metal parts add what cannot come out in a casting: the perforated barrel jacket, the bipod, the sights. 1:35 scale.

Two machine guns, two manufacturing philosophies

The MG 34 came into service in the middle of the 1930s as the first general-purpose machine gun in the world: machined from solid material, accurate, expensive and sensitive to dirt. From 1942 the MG 42 complemented it with a weapon of pressed sheet and spot welds that could be made faster and more cheaply. A rate of around twelve hundred rounds a minute gave its fire the sound of tearing cloth, and the soldiers had a nickname for it taken from a bone saw. The crew could change a red-hot barrel in a few seconds.

Building small parts

Small castings call for tweezers, a sharp knife and a steady hand. Once they are washed free of release agent, separate the parts from the blocks with a cut, not by breaking them off. Bend the metal components over the edge of a ruler. Start the finish with dark gray rather than black and lighten the edges with a metallic pigment.

What the set is for

  • For builders of German infantry and equipment
  • For figure scenes and for vehicle mounts
  • For modelers used to resin and metal
  • For 1:35 scale

The package contains the parts of the weapons, and figures and paints are not included in it.

FAQ

The older type was machined and costly, the newer one was made from pressed sheet and had a markedly higher rate of fire.

The name and the manufacturer's description give both weapons. A detailed breakdown of the contents, though, is not published by the manufacturer.

With cyanoacrylate glue applied on the tip of a toothpick, so that the joint is not flooded and the detail lost.
